Elegance in Black

Hello there! Glad to have you stop in today to see what I have created. I was out and blogging around and found this sweet challenge. Plus, I must say that this card sketch is one that I saw out there and really liked it due to its simplicity. Although- the colors are definately lending to elegance. Doncha think? The paper is October Afternoon, the stamp is one from SU (tiny wishes?), Flower: sizzix.

Challenges: Stamptacular: inspiration, Sunday Sentiments: flower

Waitin on Santa

Good Morning!

Today's card I am showing you is for the KLSNS Snowflake Challenge as well as the Friday Sketcher Challenge. This image is a High Hopes image and I got it this last year and I just love it. I have 2 cats and I have on occasion found them in the tree peering out at me. I can't say they've hung on the branch like that but they are a little heavy for that. But lets say we do weight the tree down because of them.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then around the edges I just used a sponge to soften the stark white cardstock. I have gotten so I have been doing this alot and the air compressor works well for this too! I have also used the MS ornament punch and the branch punch on this card.

Just wanted to remind you that you can join the KLSNS Snowflake challenge and win a gift certificate and a stamp from Kelly so come on over and check it out. Plus you can use code NOV5 and get $5 off orders of $30 or more. And then of course, she is carrying the High Hopes now too.

I hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

What happened to my nose?

Hello again ladies! Is this little reindeer not the cutest? Do you notice anything wrong with him? I am laughing, but not enough to stop publishing............... I never colored his nose. Well I did color it while I was coloring him but I totally forgot to go back and darken it and just noticed it NOW! This is for the Little Paper Shoppe Challenge in which we had to use a digi image and a stamped image. I thought it made a cute whimsical christmas card- speaking of which- how are you all doing on making those? I have a ton of them made- probably more than I need so I think that I will package some up and give them away as prizes.

I hope you all have a great Saturday!

Glory and Wonder

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! I have really been working on Christmas cards lately and here is another one I did for the Mojo Monday Challenge sketch. Julee always impresses me with her sketches and the fact that I can print them monthly and put them in my sketch book. I wanted to make this a soft holiday card with non-traditional colors and I think that I succeeded... what do you think?

Who Me?

I know, post number two for today- but I got busy the other night and had a couple extra I wanted to show you all. (chuckling) isn't he just cute? This little guy I made for the Etsy Inspired Challenge- this one is a first for me. They choose a etsy store and then you browse the store and choose anything in the store to make your project off of. I thought this little owl was adorable and so this is my take on him. The card itself is the inverted circle nesties and then I hand drew the little owl onto DSP. He is busy but I just love him.

Have a great evening!

God Will Find Me

Here today with another challenge, these are keeping me busy ladies! I find it amazing that some of my friends are doing like 10 challenges a week- that is alot of work I tell you. I try to do maybe 4-5 for inspiration and that keeps me on my toes. But I find them to really give me great ideas, challenge me and so if you don't do "sketches" or "challenges" give them a try!

This one is for the Stampin Sisters Challenge. We had to make a card that showed that God is with us all the time, even though we don't recognize him or acknowledge him. I know I have days that I don't seek him out- but I always know that he knows where I am and can find me, and tell me to get my act together.

Have a fabulous day!

Aww- Nuts!

Good Morning to you all! Today's card I made for the Friday Sketch Challenge Blog. When I first saw it I was overwhelmed with it, I actually thought I would skip it but when I pulled out this image and the DSP I thought it just might work. I am actually really liking the results. It is a 5 1/2 x 51/2 card though and I had stopped making so many of them due to my customers prefer to purchase the normal size card but he is a BIG elephant. This is a High Hopes image and the sentiments are also from HH. Tab over at 7kids has also started carrying a very large stock of high hopes and if she doesn't have one that you want- send her an email and she will look into it.

Take care and have a great day!

Snowflakes

Well at least I think it was- it was one of the new release sketches over on SCS and I wanted to use the delicate paper so I chose snowflakes and gems in light aqua. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the one layer and that was the most work this card took. I think it is very sweet although I will say because it is so light it did not photo as well as I would have liked. I would still like to decorate the inside before I give it away and will probably use snowflakes of course!

Take care and have a great day!

Holiday Blessing

Happy Hump Day All!
Today's card I made using Mojo Monday sketch 110! I had fun with this one because I reached in and pulled out this designer paper and thought, "Ok, now make your card from this." So it ended up being a holiday card in a way but also a way to let someone know how thankful and blessed you are to have them in your life, which was my goal for the Sisters in Christ Challenge. It is simple and yet efficient! Thanks for stopping in today- hope to be back tomorrow!

Birthday Bones

I just had to quickly show you all my son's birthday card this year! You know when they get older it is harder to make them a card (just think- there is actually ribbon on this card!). Geesh.... I hope it didn't make him uncomfortable.......... but at least I put skeletons and a drippy gooey border on it. LOL! I thought it was appropriate and when he realized I didn't put my signature stamp on the back he was like, "uh, mom?" So I guess it was all worth it- the stamp is SU and the DSP is a glitter pack I had.

Sale: ABC Toys and Designs has 25% off all Inkadinkadoo Stamps! Plus, have you ever wanted to get published on a DT store front? Well Julie has customers of the week, which means if you use product in her store and link your viewers to her store you are eligible.

Verve Sketch

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday! I apologize for being missing for a few days, had a few things going on and well time got away. But I am hopefully back!

I am working on some basic everyday cards. This card actually has a Happy Birthday Sentiment on it now! The stamp set is SU Baroque Motifs and then the CB folder flowers. I like the simplicity of the card and the black and white makes it elegant. I actually made this card a bit ago for a challenge that I entered.

Rejoice

Good morning all! It is Saturday and I am REJOICING again! But this card is made for the Sisters in Christ CHallenge. Those ladies have some beautiful cards over there and this week our challenge was to make a card of the earth rejoicing. In other words, I used flowers rejoicing......... and earthly image which is one of my favorite stamps sets- Upsy Daisy from SU and then some olive and apricot. The nestabilities scallop square I used as well. Simple but I think that the message is there. Stop over and join the girls!
Have a great day....... and rejoice in it!

Vintage Christmas

Happy Wednesday.......... another quick post as I have been in training this week for work so out of my office all day, working in the evening and then real life stuff. I had to show you these though, they are glossy ceramic ornaments that I got at Michael's. I stamped on them with stazon, let them set for 1hr and then I added to them. I colored the scarf/hat with copics and let them dry before I did anything else.

This one you can not tell but I used sparkley stickles on the snowflakes and then I let them dry overnight. I didn't even have to spray them or anything. Tied some ribbon to them and wha-la! (is that a word?). Anyways- I love how they turned out but I will tell you- the pictures do no justice for them..........
Have a great day!

Today's cards are some fun Christmas cards using the wonderful new SU set of decorations and punch! I also used the flocked paper to make the ornament on the card on the left. Both of these cards were easy to make and simple to put together. Sorry the posts are short but have alot still going on so I don't have so much time to blah blah blah to you all........... plus do you really want to hear it? LOL! I hope you get inspiration from the cards!

Spooky Fun!

I wanted to share a couple of cards that I have made for Halloween. The one on the left SU House of Haunts. I am not much of a Halloween person but I had to get this set as it is so cute....... the tree is a hoot! The card on the right uses the Sweet Treats cups and top note. They were both very fun to make and easy too!

Enjoy your Monday!

Happiness

Hello all! This card is one that I entered in the Verve September Challenge. It is a challenge that each week they post a challenge and you participate in it weekly- with the hopes that if you participate all month you have a chance to win stamps. I have thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful line of stamps from Julie and am loving the challenges. Plus, the Mojo Monday challenges are a blast as well- a little more detailed but definately makes you work your mojo!

You Rock!

Is this bling or what? I am entering this card in the Unity Bachelor Challenge. We had to bling up our card and use 1 piece of DSP and 2 buttons. So I chose to use the SU hostess DSP from last year and then I stamped/embossed the cycle (hawg you might say) in silver embossing powder. Then I took clear and light pink gems and chose to highlight some of the area. I also used some shimmer on my buttons.............. what do you think? Too much? I actually think it turned out pretty cool! Now to figure out the perfect biker gal to send it to!

Joyful Snowflakes

Happy Tuesday, sorry I missed posting yesterday. It was a crazy few days........... so this weekend I set to working on a few challenges as I feel like last week I didn't get as many done. This is one that I did for the Friday Sketch challenge. I used the new SU set and some "hoarded" wintergreen papers again. I love these colors! The snowflake punch is a Martha Stewart one- I have gotten so that I am so addicted to these wonderful things!

Ok, so this is a short post, I will plan on coming back again tomorrow with another post- it might be quick but I hope it will be worth it!


And here the lovely BEV is giving away a sweet prize! Let her know I sent you!

Quickie Cards

I just had to share these with you because I know I mentioned that I wanted to use my DSP AND make cards that were not really time consuming (which included coloring) and here are a couple more that I did for a variety of challenges that I joined.

AND I must tell you that I won at the VERVE release party on Friday night! I am so excited and have been making my list all weekend. They have some beautiful new sets and then of course their reliable sentiments- I am so excited!

A wonderful Gift

Happy Saturday and it is a beautiful one here in Michigan- holding out a little longer. The leaves are just starting to turn and the weather is cooler, crisper already. But the sun is shining. But I will move on to today's card. I made this following the Friday Sketchers sketch for this week. My image is a High Hopes and did you know that you will be able to get these over at 7kidscollegefund? Tab is taking orders- as she is kindly focusing on what you, the customer, wants her to carry. So- if you love these cute little stamps and you can't get them from high hopes anymore- you will want to stop over at 7kids.

As you can see- I put a little pocket on the inside to hide a little prize and this is what the Cute Card Thursday challenge was- this will make a sweet little gift for a little boy!
Have a great day! Heidi
